It arrived yesterday and i tried it out this morning. Two meter performance seems about the same as my previous quarterwave, and 440 is notably better than my homebrew 440 quarterwave. If you want a simple dual-bander with a 3/8x24 mount, this one is only $9 and it works well--can't beat that!

Yes, that is the antenna I suggested. I have been using it for years. Mine came with a magnetic mount for $12.00, but it is now permanently mounted and grounded on top of my truck aluminum work box. I added a tuned 2 meter ground rod to the mount and the SWR is too low to measure on that band and only slightly higher on UHF. Great performance!
